=Episode 18=

What's wrong?

I don't know.

I just feel familiar here,

but I've never been here before.

It seems you two

are destined to go to our restaurant.

Although our restaurant is small,

we've been running it smoothly

all the time,

as if we're blessed.

Our boss also says

that we won't change our dishes, nor will we close the restaurant

because we need to pay a sage back.

The reason why I work here

is that I also want to be blessed by the sage.

Sir, miss, your dishes are ready.

What else do you need?

Two pots of wine.

Got it. Wait a minute.

Master, are you going to drink wine?

I just do as the local people do.

I also need to taste the Mortal World's food occasionally.

Can't I do that?

Of course you can. It's rare for us to have interest in drinking.

Master, just enjoy yourself.

I'll keep sober

and watch you over.

(Panhai Town)

You said to keep sober,

but you're worse at drinking than before.

Before?

Nothing.

Have you been happy during these days?

Yes.

I have you with me

and built friendships with many people.

Everything is wonderful.

You're bad at drinking,

so drink less in the future.

My father said

he would take me to try all kinds of cuisine in the world,

but he didn't keep his word

and died.

Master,

you won't do that, will you?

I won't.

From now on,

I won't leave you alone.

Master, I found a kitchen

that hasn't been used for a long time,

so I cleaned it

and cooked some cakes.

Try them.

How is it?

It's delicious.

You're really good at cooking.

It's good you like them.

I would usually learn to cook from the cook at home in the past.

Since you like the cakes,

please name them.

Master,

don't force yourself if you don't like them.

I'll cook the Overwhelming Cakes

when I am free.

Overwhelming Cakes.

Is that all?

Do you have any problem?

No, as long as you like it.

Qin Ke.

I come to play chess with you to ask for advice, Mr. Luo.

(Chonghua Palace)

We haven't played for a long time,

and you've made great progress.

I'm sorry that I haven't asked you for advice for a long time.

Mr. Luo,

why did you recruit her

and named her Chong Zi?

You seem to have lost.

I always can't beat you on chess,

nor can I see through your thoughts.

I just think

it's all unfair

to that girl.

It's my business to recruit a disciple.

What if she knows the truth?

You are too talkative.

I know you won't answer me.

We needn't have played chess today.

I'm leaving.

Master, I wonder

if I can ask you a question.

Go ahead.

I don't mean to pry into your thoughts,

but I just want to know

why you, as a sage of Nanhua Sect,

would recruit me,

who are normal and not good at everything.

And you treat me so well.

I don't know that, either.

You've been in Nanhua Sect for days,

and you should have a magic weapon now.

Go to Senior Mu tomorrow,

and find one you can use without difficulty.

I can teach you a new spell.

Can I...

Can I have my own magic weapon?

Supervisor Sage has told me

that you could select anyone you like.

There are Spell Immortals and Sword Immortals in immortal sects,

and most of our disciples cultivate themselves to be Sword Immortals.

Different from Spell Immortals,

we have magic weapons.

Supervisor Sage has the left sword, Mofeng.

And Councilor Sage

has a tower-like sword named Futu Jie.

As for Sage Tianji,

he takes charge of Ministry of Secrets,

and his magic weapon is called the Book of Secrets.

How about you, Senior Mu?

I...

I only have a normal steel sword as the magic weapon,

but it's easy to use.

Immortal cultivators should be

as pure as you.

I'll follow your example.

Magic Weapons are psychic and choose their masters themselves.

I think your magic weapon must be waiting for you.

What's this?

It looks ordinary.

Is it also a magic weapon?

It's not ordinary.

It's called the Soul-binding Thread.

You'd better

not touch it.

Try it.

This sword is comfortable. It suits me very much.

Are you injured?

No.

Senior Mu,

why am I not chosen by any magic weapon?

It happens

occasionally.

Perhaps it's because you and magic weapons haven't been destined now.

You don't need to insist on that.

Master.

What's wrong?

No magic weapons chose me.

Will I have no magic weapons to use in the future?

You won't be hurt

when you're by my side,

so it doesn't matter if you don't have a magic weapon.

No.

I can't protect you in that case.

If I could be a little more useful,

you needn't have searched medicine everywhere for me.

I don't want to hide behind you forever.

Okay.

Follow me.

It's shining.

I have an interaction with it.

Master, is...

Is this my magic weapon?

Since you have it,

why didn't you show it to me before?

Everything is destined,

and so are magic weapons.

If it's yours,

it'll be yours no matter what.

Master, I can't control it no matter how.

Magic weapons are psychic,

and they will react when meeting their masters.

As long as you tame it,

it'll be obedient.

Follow my actions.

♪So I can keep your shadow in mind♪

♪I love you since I was young♪

♪I won't regret loving you even if I die♪

♪I only hope we can spend time together♪

♪After meeting you♪

♪I'm most afraid that everything is an illusion, alone in joys and sorrows♪

♪I'm willing to die for you♪

♪If we meet again in the afterlife, don't try to feel the vicissitudes of life♪

♪If we meet again in the afterlife, don't try to feel the vicissitudes of life♪

I give the magic weapon, Starlight,

to you now.

Thank you, Master.

Master,

you already named it.

Is it because Starlight

used to have a master?

You're its only master now.

I don't care what happened to you before.

Master has me as his only disciple,

and you have me as your only master.

Starlight has no blade,

so it's not good at attacking like a sword,

but it can defend you very well.

I also hope you can be less sharp and control yourself,

not to be competitive,

nor can you hurt others.

I see.

You should also use it to protect yourself.

From now on, you will be with it.

balance the six worlds and protect people.

From now on, I will be with it.

I'll balance the six worlds and protect people.

Get up.

Let's go back.

(Chonghua Palace)

Master,

I always want to ask you a question.

Why is there a sword?

Its name is Zhubo

and used to be my sword.

Did you change your magic weapon before?

Senior Mu said

once we chose our magic weapon,

we couldn't change it.

Why did you abandon it?

Is it because

it worked less than Mofeng?

I did one thing wrongly before.

You did one thing wrongly?

I've heard much

about your deeds.

You repaired the King's Furnace, guarded the Heavenly Gate,

and broke into Demon Palace alone.

Each of them is amazing.

It's said

you're unbeatable,

so how could you do anything wrong?

Even if I'm unbeatable in the six worlds,

I can't know what will happen tomorrow

or the day after tomorrow.

Moreover,

I'll also make a mistake even if I'm unbeatable.

Zhubo and Mofeng

were created in the same furnace.

One thousand years ago,

my master gave them to me,

and I kept practicing them

for thousands of years

until

I committed

an unforgivable thing with Zhubo,

and I abandoned it from then on.

That's why I don't use it.

What's wrong?

What happened?

- Dragon King is coming! Run! - It's Dragon King!

- It's Dragon King! Run! - Run!

- Run! - Run! It's Dragon King!

Run!

It's Dragon King!

Dragon King?

He's just a water snake

and becomes a monster after cultivating himself for hundreds of years,

but he occupies rivers and announces himself a king.

The area of Luohe River

could be said to be his kingdom.

Then we must take actions as soon as possible

because Luohe River has a difficult terrain.

Otherwise, we will be later than Nanhua Sect.

I'm willing to go.

Demon Palace is about 1.8 km

away from Luohe River,

and Nanhua Sect is...

1.3 km away from that.

Then order Protector Yin to go.

Message her as soon as possible.

How is Protector Yin?

Where is she?

She's in a village outside Luohe River.

No wonder someone asks to go there eagerly.

- Honey. - Shuixian.

It's okay. You don't need to get up.

I'm not that weak.

I heard the Dragon King caused trouble here today,

so don't leave home if you don't have anything to deal with.

If you need anything,

I'll bring it back for you later.

Do you have to go out?

Epiphyllum is blooming in the countryside tonight,

and I'm afraid I can't sell it by a good price if I miss it.

I'll go with people from the immortal sects,

and I promise I'll be safe.

No.

I can't feel assured.

We haven't wiped the demons out

while remaining evildoers of the Monster World stir up trouble.

Mr. Luo,

why do you have interests in coming here today?

Don't you always ignore everything?

Yinfan has been on Zizhu Peak all the time,

and he actually left the peak today.

He indeed becomes different after having a disciple.

Yes.

Since you came from afar,

I think you must have something to negotiate with us.

Therefore, Yinfan must come here.

I took the liberty of coming today

because the Dragon King, who is from the Monster World,

stirs up trouble in Luohe River

and hurts people.

I hope your sect

could give a hand to my sect

and wipe him out together.

Don't worry. It's always

our unshirkable responsibility to wipe demons and monsters out.

We've been getting along with the Dragon King for a long time,

and he's always been keeping his place

to avoid offending my sect.

But I don't know

why he stirred up trouble without any reason.

Are you afraid

that it relates to the demons, Lord Zhuo?

Yes.

We must make a prompt decision.

Immortals and demons are extremely antagonistic.

If monsters hedge obstacles in the way,

we must eradicate them as soon as possible

so that the demons could stay out of our business.

Yinfan,

since it may be related to the demons,

how about you go to Luohe River and wipe the monster out?

I'll go.

Yinfan,

I don't mean to scold you,

but you can't always be alone

and take actions without others' help.

Think about it.

The new disciples

have joined our sect for some days,

so why not take them

to steel themselves

this time?

Sir,

I'll depend on you

to wipe the Dragon King out.

Sage Chonghua actually gave you Starlight?

Try it.

No.

I can't use your magic weapon casually.

Lion.

Why are you here?

What food do you bring to me?

Your master actually asked Lion

to bring cakes for you.

It's a holy animal that guards the mountain.

It's not that legendary.

As for the cakes,

although they are small,

your spiritual power will be improved after you eat them.

The lord of Qinghua Palace came today,

so I think they might be served for them.

Normal immortal disciples

are impossible to eat such good food.

Eat them.

Do you always eat them?

I didn't expect you to be such kind of person.

Don't think you can be light-hearted,

although your master treats you well now.

Supervisor Sage

is never soft-hearted when punishing people.

He deserves his reputation as indifference and ruthlessness.

He's not indifferent nor ruthless.

You don't know that.

You used to have a senior, and your master treated her...

I had a senior?

Why does Master never mention that to me?

Well,

what kind of person was my senior?

She was pure and innocent

and looked similar to you.

When she joined Nanhua Sect, she had evil breath,

and only your master was willing to recruit her.

However, she did something wrong

and died.

(Chong Zi)

(Master is truly powerful.)

(He had expected me to come.)

This girl

is just like her.

No wonder those things were already put there.

I only regarded them

as the gifts that were prepared in advance by Master.

However,

they turned out to be my senior's old possessions.

Then why didn't Master explain it to me

and let me misunderstand it?

Does he

really regard me as my senior?

Don't mind it.

Supervisor Sage is busy,

so perhaps he forgot to put those things away.

How did my senior die?

Why does Master never mention it to me?

She was executed by Supervisor Sage with Zhubo Sword,

so even others

will never mention her,

let alone your master.

Did my senior do an evil thing

that disobeyed my master and betrayed the sect?

She prevented the demon sword from being purified for the demons,

so Supervisor Sage...

My senior was an immortal,

but she actually colluded with the demons.

It was really unforgivable.

Master prepared so many things for her

and treated her well, but she committed such a thing.

I'm sure she disappointed Master.

I won't do that.

I'll never betray Master.

As long as I'm here,

Master

doesn't need to miss the one who hurt him.

It's in the past.

Supervisor Sage treats you so well

that I'm jealous of you.

My master, Tianji,

never cares about me.

Supervisor Sage gave Starlight to you in the end.

This magic weapon is specially for his disciples.

Don't worry. I'm not like my senior.

I'll never abandon you.

Zhenzhu.

Zhenzhu, who is he?

He's just a nerd.

His name is Chengfeng, my senior.

This is Chong Zi.

She's the famous Chong Zi.

I've heard your reputation for a long time.

Thank you, Chenfeng.

What happened? Why are you so excited?

Nanhua Sect and Qinghua Sect will go to wipe the Dragon King out together,

and the sages are selecting disciples

to steel themselves.

It's a rare chance to leave the mountain.

Don't waste time. Let's go.

Am I also qualified to go with you?

Of course.

You're Supervisor Sage's disciple,

so of course you can. Hurry up.

The Dragon King from the Monster World does evil things,

causes trouble and does harm to the Mortal World.

Sage Chonghua from Nanhua Sect

will lead you to go to wipe him out

in order to enhance your braveness and cultivate your magical power.

Who are willing to leave the mountain with Sage Chonghua?

- Me. - Me.

I'm willing, too.

You just joined Nanhua Sect and don't have a high cultivation,

so it's improper for you to leave the mountain.

Who else?

- Us. - Us.

Good.

With you going with him, I feel assured.

Qin Ke and Miaoyuan,

Supervisor Sage likes being alone,

so you two

take the lead of the team.

Miaoyuan and I

promise to protect disciples from Nanhua Sect

and will never let the demons and monster hurt them.

(Why doesn't Master speak for me?)

(I'm his only disciple.)

Chong Zi.

You're good at nothing.

If you try to join the team of wiping the Dragon King out,

you're just asking for a snub.

I think

you'd better stay on Zizhu Peak obediently

and don't humiliate Nanhua Sect.

My master has taught me a lot,

so I'm not inferior to other disciples.

Do you think Supervisor Sage teaches you sincerely?

You're just lucky.

You're right, Miaoyuan.

I'm indeed a nobody,

and I owe what I have to my master.

Look, Starlight is mine,

and so is Zizhu Peak.

Even my master

has me as his only disciple.

Although Qinghua Palace seemed to take the initiative

to invite us to wipe the Dragon King out,

in fact, they shuffled the responsibility onto us.

However, Nanhua Sect couldn't sit by and do nothing.

You need to be careful.

I heard the Dragon King

had thousands of monsters

in Qianchi Cave.

If those monsters are pure

and intelligential,

I'll spare their lives

and teach them to stop harming people

and quit being the demon.

They don't belong to our race, so they won't be united with us.

You don't need to bother to enlighten them,

just wipe them out.

I know what I should do.

By the way,

there is one more thing.

Chong Zi just joined Nanhua Sect,

so it's not time for her to leave the mountain.

Just ask her to stay on Zizhu Peak

and never run out.

She's my disciple, so she should follow me undoubtedly.

Although it's not time for her to leave the mountain,

I'll take her together

since she wants so.

Yinfan,

don't dote on her too much, in case

you'll follow the same old disastrous road and raise another evil creature.

I repeat

that Chong Zi isn't an evil creature.

They are not mine,

so they are meaningless.

Although I'm not allowed to go,

I'll go.

I hope

you won't forget your aspiration of cultivation

or let our sect down.

Keep the mission to redeem lost souls from evilness in mind.

Protect people and kill demons and monsters.

The first rule of leaving the mountain

is to hide your spirit scent.

Don't reveal yourselves unless you have to.

Second,

don't cause trouble as you like.

Third,

be united and never have internal conflicts.

Qin Ke, you and me take the lead.

Mutong and the others follow in the rear.

Chong.

Chong?

- Qin Ke. - Qin Ke.

We haven't left the mountain for a long time,

and I don't know what the Mortal World looks like now.

Look what they are.

The Shapeless Spell used to keep monsters away.

Where did you get them?

Keep your voice down.

I took them out secretly.

Don't expose them.

I'm afraid you'll be in danger

when facing the Dragon King,

so I refined them secretly and brought them to you.

Take them

for your safety.

What good thing is it?

I also want one.

Chong Zi, why are you here?

Chengfeng, give two to her.

But

I cost much cultivation to refine them.

That's all I have, and I've given them to you.

I'm just joking.

Since I leave the mountain to steel myself,

I should depend on myself.

Chengfeng treats you so well.

Chong Zi?

Why are you here?

Do you know what crime it is to sneak out from the mountain?

My master asked me to leave.

Yes, her master asked her to do so.

You also said so in the past.

I don't believe you.

In the past?

Supervisor Sage indeed wanted that.

He's ordered me privately

to permit Chong Zi to leave the mountain.

Your master cares about you very much.

Since you've left the mountain, follow us carefully.

Be cautious as much as you can.

Since you've been in our team, be serious.

We aim to steel ourselves,

so don't be casual.

(When Master knows I left the mountain,)

(he doesn't blame me)

(and also gives me a wise counsel for my safety.)

(He's indeed worried about me.)

(Hengyang Inn)

Qin Ke.

Why haven't you slept when it's late?

Did I

irritate Miaoyuan again today?

Miaoyuan is always willful,

so don't take it seriously.

Don't worry.

I won't take it seriously.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking when the fight between the six worlds

could be ended in the place where the moon shines.

In fact, I don't know

how many forces

monsters and demons have.

Since we'll go to Luohe River this time,

doesn't it mean monsters are demons?

When Ni Lun dominated the world,

he conquered the Monster World.

After he was defeated,

monsters ran away.

In these years,

monsters join the Demon World,

and only those small forces, who are unwilling to give in,

spread in the Mortal World.

Therefore, the demons may take advantage

of the Dragon King's disturbance to the Mortal World to subdue him?

You deserve to be Supervisor Sage's disciple.

You overpraise me.

I lent the Bahuang Sword to you because I wanted to help you,

but I didn't expect to make you injured.

I'm sorry I wasn't considerate enough.

It's not your fault, Qin Ke.

I'm not skilled enough to control it.

However,

I learned new moves from my master,

and I wonder if I can ask you for advice.

See if I've made progress.

You're really different from other disciples.
